Here, it's just Friday

Not Black, Brown or any other color. Just Friday.

Our contribution to the economy was staying out of the stores. Think of it this way, we were two less people bargain hunters would have to shove away to get a clear shot at their target items.

One of those bargain hunters was aided and abetted by my grandson, Ben. He accompanied a friend to a Walmart last night. The store opened at 10 p.m. and they were one of the first shoppers. Not the first but among that surge.

How'd they do? Ben said his friend saved about $200 on a 40” 1080p TV set. “It was a steal,” he said.

We ventured out of the house only once today, to go our gym. It was unusually crowded with muscular young men, a far cry from what we usually see there. They were either college kids on break or high schoolers off for the Thanksgiving holiday. In any case they weren't shopping. It would not have been easy to muscle these guys away from the counters.

Tomorrow is Saner Saturday.
